In autumn, you will want to inspect electrical wiring, change the filter and clean the furnace to get it ready to heat your home for winter.

Have the furnace inspected for any electrical problems that need repair before the weather changes. Sometimes the problem may be as simple as a loose connection that you can fix yourself. If there are electrical shorts or mechanical failures, it may be better to contact a professional HVAC service to help you with the repairs.

You will want to check your pilot light to see that it is working properly.

To ensure your heating is working properly and efficiently, clean the furnace before the cold weather comes to reduce wear and problems during the winter months.
